@mamazac I'm not sure I can see anything on that test in the picture - is it pink or gray in real life?
I wouldn't personally think fairground rides at this point would do anything bad but don't do anything you're not comfortable with :)

@My2boysaremyworld the doctor just said to my friend that her hcg levels just weren't high enough for it to be detected šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø xx

@Shiny88 so she was a few weeks pregnant when she finally got her BFP? It didn't affect her pregnancy at all her levels being so low? Xx

Ohhh Iā€™m the same, period finished on Sunday there so I did an ovulation test this evening. Same faint line as you and flo app is telling me that best chances to conceive start from tomorrow. Going to keep taking the tests this week and pinpoint peak ovulation (on top of DTD!)
My AF should due on 25 August, when is yours due?

Mine AF is due on 28th but I have a longish cycle. Flo app says to start going for it on Monday. Do you know if it is best to go as much as possible or every other day?

@Essexgalttc I have been using ovulation tests for the last two months so I am super new to them too but can tell you what i do.
I use the easy@home tests alongside the premom app, the app recommended me to start testing once a day from the day after my period. When the tests started to get darker i used the tests twice per day (the app told me to haha).
I test mid/late afternoon and try test at the same time each day, i read in the instructions that LH levels are at their best between 12pm-6pm, donā€™t know how right that is. I do my tests around 4pm and when i test twice a day i do 12pm and 4pm.

I also use the clearblue ovulation tests which predict your four most fertile days, i use these once the line on my easy@home tests start to get a little darker and only use these once a day alongside my easy@home ones. I got my solid smiling face on clearblue at the same time as my super dark line on easy@home so assume they work well ha!
Good luck! X


@Missgemini Yay we are so close! We can get through the next two weeks, nice to have somebody so close to me DPO wise! šŸ™‚

Thank you so much for this it was a great explanation! App sounds great too, will look it up!

AF arrived today, right on time following my temp dip yesterday. On to the next cycle! I worried so much during the TWW, constantly taking FRERs (partly due to not knowing when I ovulated) that it feels like a bit of a relief to be moving in to a new cycle where I can try again. Wishing lots of baby dust for you all!

@Albieroo oh Iā€™m glad you saw that message, Iā€™m completely new to this! Also new to trying as well, this is the first month where Iā€™ve been tracking ovulation as only came off the pill at start of June, WB at end of June then back to normal cycle with AF exactly 4 weeks later (as per my norm pre pill). Just realised that in July we missed our fertile window because I had covid that week and we werenā€™t going near each other lol

The flo app is telling me that Iā€™m fertile from today and for the next 10 days. Just going to DtD every day or other day and keep tracking with the ovulation kits as havenā€™t reached peak ovulation according to yesterdayā€™s test. Apparently sperm can live for up to 5 days in your body, so once a day or every other day is supposed to be fine. Unless youā€™re up for more than that in which case go for it haha

Good luck! Itā€™s nice to come across someone with a similarish cycle as I donā€™t even want to tell any of my friends that we are ttc!

@Spinalonga6 I am completely new to the app too! Not really sure what or how to do it. Hence just quote replying! Although might have managed to tag you now.

We are very similar then, this is my first month trying after having the copper coil out last month. I already have one DS who was conceived with a coil in situ, so this is all completely new for me.

I suspect we won't manage ever day, I am not what I once was Wink

Equally I haven't told any of my friends or family, won't deal with the pressure very well.

So still no AF just a tiny bit more pinkish spotting šŸ™„ I caved and tested mid PM and here is the result - I took the test (clear blue) apart to get a better picture. There's a weird start of a line which fades but does carry on down the whole test faintly - can anyone else see it?! Im now CD 31 of a usually 27/28 day cycle. Driving myself nuts!

@lozob I see it too, would just be worried it is an evap line as a blue test. Hopefully tomorrow morning will give you a better line!

Hey guys CD18 3DPO over here. Anyone else get super tired straight after ovulation? Honestly feel like a different person this side of my cycle šŸ„±

Good luck to everyone testing at the moment!

Essexgalttc · 04/08/2022 18:22

@lozob Iā€™m really hoping that is the start of your bfp but unfortunately I got the same line with my clear blue test the day before AF arrived

I honestly hate blue dye tests for that reason itā€™s happened to me twice now so I wonā€™t re purchase šŸ˜ž

@lozob cheapies should be OK, so long as the sensitivity is right. Found some by One Step on Amazon (10mlu) that should be almost as good as First Response (6.3mlu).
@Maxime34 yup! During TTC cycle #1 i was so tired, I was napping all the time.

So here I am yet again. Lost count what cycle Iā€™m on - maybe 8 ? CD19 (of 24) 8dpo. But for the first time since weā€™ve been ttc my boobs are really really sore and Iā€™ve been having mild cramps. Iā€™ve always had sore boobs when pg so truly hoping this is a sign and Iā€™m not heading for yet another bfn :(:(
lots of baby dust to you all !
